The prices of puppies and adult dogs also differ slightly, and family bloodline is also an important factor causing the price of giant poodles to rise or fall.
What breeds are poodles divided into?
1. Giant poodle: Apart from its larger size, the giant poodle is basically the same as other poodles. It has curly or corded coats typical of the breed, is lively, alert and elegant in movement, has good body proportions and agile movement, and displays a confident posture. After being trimmed in the traditional way and carefully groomed, its coat will reveal an innate, unique and noble temperament.
2. Standard poodle: The standard poodle is over 39 cm at the shoulder and weighs 20-32 kg. Its body proportions are well balanced and its build is square. It needs to be trimmed in the traditional way and carefully groomed so that it has a distinctive expression and unique noble posture. Although it can also be clipped into a lion clip, many people like to clip it into a lamb clip.
3. Miniature poodle: The exact origin of the miniature poodle is unknown. It has a history of 400 years throughout Western Europe. It is mainly used for breeding, play, and ornamental purposes. Its shoulder height is from over 28 cm to 35 cm. Its overall appearance must be like a reduced medium poodle, and it should maintain the same body proportions as the medium poodle as much as possible, without appearing short and small.
4. Toy poodle: The toy poodle originated in the 17th century and is mainly used as a pet for play and as a companion dog. Its shoulder height is under 28 cm, with an ideal height of 25 cm. Overall, it maintains the same appearance and body proportions as the miniature poodle and meets all the requirements of the standard, but it must not appear short and small; only the top of the occiput may be somewhat indistinct.
How to train a giant poodle
1. Taking the poodle out for a walk every day is not only good for its health, but can also teach the dog the correct way to walk. The correct method is to keep the dog on the owner's left side, not let the dog pull and run, and the leash should be kept taut. Once it is used to this, it will not run around randomly even without a leash.
2. Barking is a dog's nature, and the poodle is especially fond of barking. Training it not to bark randomly is very challenging. When you do not want the dog to bark, shout “Don't bark” at it to make the dog stop barking immediately. If that is ineffective, roll up a newspaper tube and hit it; this training method is relatively effective.
3. Poodles are always very excited when there are many people around. To show affection, they like to rush and jump at their owner at very high speed. This behavior sometimes ruins clothes and makes people feel troubled. The way to correct it is, toward a dog that rushes and jumps at you, say “No” while using your hand to touch the dog's nose. After repeating this several times, the little poodle will learn its lesson and stop rushing and jumping.
4. Training a poodle to sit should be the simplest thing. Put your hand on the poodle's waist and press down, saying “Sit, sit” while pressing. Once the dog is seated, move a certain distance away from the dog, give the command “Sit”, and at the same time extend your hand horizontally downward. Repeat this several times. After the dog is proficient in this action, merely signaling with your hand will work without giving a verbal command.
